#IPARTITION CHECK TARGET DISK FOR ERRORS DRIVER#
UPDATE: It might just be driver issues as the Blade has a PERC 6/I controller whereas the rack has a PERC 700 controller.
So, I found the PERC Controller driver, loaded it from the Utilities section (and it said it was successful), but it doesn't see these RAID'd drives. I initialized the system drives in a RAID1 configuration and then tried the BESR disk (no drives detected) I then installed Server 2008 R2 separately while booting off of the BESR disk each time to see if it recognized the disk.
#IPARTITION CHECK TARGET DISK FOR ERRORS INSTALL#
I assumed that the RAID'd disk wasn't initialized at bootup so I figured I could just install Server 2008 R2 and it would force the drives to initialize and then attempt the restore afterwards (yes, I obviously have a lot of time on my hands :) ).īut, with this R610, I tried both. The "C" drive was showing "Removable Disk" just like it is doing now. When I first attempted to restore the image to it, just like now, it did not detect the RAID'd system drive.
What I meant about my comment there was the blade was completly new from Dell with no OS on it. I am almost certain that both the blade and the rack server have the same PERC 700 RAID Controller in them. It's just odd that it works on a blade but not this rack server. I just tried insatlling the driver for the PERC controller before you replied and it still will not recognize it. I looked under Utilities and ran the Change Active Partition tool, but it comes back saying failed to find drive in internal table. Why is this working on a blade but not this R610? both have had their partitions wiped when installing 2008 R2 but where the BESR saw the RAID'd drive in the Blade, it doesn't in the R610. But, if I reboot, it boots up into Server 2008 R2 with no issues. For the "C" drive, there is a Removable Disk entry but not my drives that have Server 2008 R2 on them. However, when I boot off of BESR and configure the network, mapo a drive and go to point the image to the system drive, BESR does not see it. Remembering that BESR wouldn't restore to a system not prepared (and of course, this is my newness to this backup/restore process), I installed a copy of Server 2008 R2 so that the disk was prepared. So, I found a spare R610 not being used, added an additional pair of 300 Gb SAS disks (for the future "D" drive) but did not initially RAID them because I figured I would do that after I restored the image to the system drive. That was when I was told that we needed to restore the backed up "D" drive as well. Upon rebooting after the install and booting off of the BESR disk, everything worked well and I was able to restore the backup.
Unfortunately, the Blade did not have a second set of drives to configure as "D."Īnyway, since the blade was brand new with no OS on it, there were no drives detected when I originally attempted to restore from the image, so I put a copy of Server 2008 R2 on it just so that the system drive was there. I was able to restore it successfully to a Dell M610 blade before having been told that we needed to restore the Drive D backup as well. We have a backup of one of our systems that we need to restore to verify it works before taking its host server down and repurposing it. I am extremely new to BESR 2010, but my co-worker who manages it is stumped too.
